The MukB protein is essential for chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli and consists of 1484 amino acid residues (170 kDa). We have determined the base changes at the mutated sites of the mukB106 mutant and a newly isolated mutant, mukB33. These mutant mukB genes were each found to carry a single base-pair transition which leads to an amino acid substitution; a serine residue at position 33 was changed to phenylalanine in the case of mukB106, and an aspartic acid residue at position 1201 was changed to asparagine in the case of mukB33.

The H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L is essential for multiple aspects of mammalian development where it has been shown to regulate gene expression. Here, by producing and integrating epigenomic and spike-in RNA-seq data, we decipher the molecular role of DOT1L during mouse spermatogenesis and show that it has opposite effects on gene expression depending on chromatin environment. On one hand, DOT1L represses autosomal genes that are devoid of H3K79me2 at their bodies and located in H3K27me3-rich/H3K27ac-poor environments.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a less common hematological malignancy in Indian people. It accounts for less than 5% of all leukemias. Information on genomic alteration in CLL is limited immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region (IGHV) mutational status is considered the most reliable prognostic marker.

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) are ubiquitously distributed proteins involved in chromosome organization. Deletion of causes severe growth phenotypes in many organisms. Surprisingly, can be deleted in , a member of the phylum, without any apparent growth phenotype.

Green rice leafhopper (GRH, Uhler) is a serious insect pest of rice in the temperate regions of Asia. Myanmar has a high genetic diversity and is located at the center of the origin of rice. To understand the genetic architecture of GRH resistance in Myanmar rice landraces, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using a diversity panel collected from diverse geographical regions.

The increasing demand for natural alternatives to synthetic fungicides has prompted research into natural products like essential oils for postharvest disease management. This study investigated the antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and genotoxic potential of essential oil mixtures derived from oregano, rosemary, and mint against Penicillium digitatum, the predominant fungal pathogen causing green mold in orange fruits.
